Spielberg, Katzenburg and Geffens first challenge to Disney with their new animation venture is a disappointing cutesy, contrived movie from Spielbergs Amblin stable. A scatty alien boosts the brain power of some primordial dinosaurs (chiefly Rex, voiced by John Goodman), who thus evolve into jovial time travellers. In modern New York the dinos befriend two lonely youngsters, battle with the evil Professor Screweyes, and win the day with kindness. Dino-mad kids who are happy with standard TV cartoon fare may get a reasonable kick out of it. Grown-ups will be grateful its only an hour
